That is why she remains so frustrated that the documentary was shelved amid reports the estate found it to be “sensationalized”, and had withheld the use of Prince's music. For Jill, the truth about Prince was never simple. And trying to erase parts of it, she believes, does him no favours.

“They want to keep him in a little bag….a little category,” she says. “And they’re actually making it more than what it was, because when you deprive people of knowing something, it eventually comes out.”

My question is, when was this interview conducted?

To answer my own question:




"I also had no control over the timing of the release of an interview given within the past year.".

All thanks to spacebook for the screenshot

It's always a mistake to try and cover something up. It only makes things look worse. They knew, they tried to keep it quiet.

Their own documentary will be released. It won't mention this. They'll be accused of sugar coating. The documenary won't be taken seriously.

Oh look, sweeping it under the rug didn't work. If they'd put out the NF documentary it would've been yesterday's chip paper by now, but here we are.

I'll never understand the irrational fear of Prince getting "cancelled" over this story being in the documentary. There are dozens of celebrities who have been publicly outed as worse than Prince in a myriad of ways, who are either still thriving in their careers or still widely celebrated by the general public. Johnny Depp, Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, Kobe Bryant, John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, Steven Tyler, James Brown... the list is endless.

The public is willing to overlook a lot of heinous shit as long as they enjoy the work of the celebrity at fault. Not saying it's right or that I agree, but that's the way it is. Prince wasn't accused of anything close to Cosby or Weinstein level abuse, so he's not gonna be "cancelled" or have his legacy damaged by this in the long run. The estate needs to just let people see Prince as the complex human being he was instead of trying to sugarcoat his entire life. In the end, people will always come back around to his art and the good that he did.

EVERYBODY has a bad day.
Prince had a million more great days...

If they're not going to tell both the good and the bad why bother? Most rational people don't want a caricature of the man.

Imagine Londell trying to block the doc hoping Jill's story won't come out and now it's here available for the world to see.

At this point just fckn release the doc.

He's too much of a stubborn, ill-informed dipshit to ever do it.
